My Craft-room Explosion, the Aftermath and Road To Recovery Day 3

Well technically this is not day three because I’ve worked a little on the studio each day after work. It seems the craft supplies keep multiplying but I keep whittling away at it. To keep with the organizing theme going.

I purchased some of the Recollections storage cubes from Michaels last Friday while they were on sale for 50% off. Which by the way is when I would suggest getting them. Unless you have a great coupon for sale and regular priced items. Even at 50% off they were a little pricey.

Since I’m not the most mechanical person this took awhile. But once I got the groove I was good. I only have one unit that I’m that is my problem child but I’m sure I can get it all worked out.

This was the first set of cubes I put together. I will say that their directions are less than spectacular but not to hard to figure out. You will need more then just the screwdriver they say you need you will also need a very tiny one as well for some of the screws. I’m still trying to figure out where the hammer they recommend you need comes in. Unless it’s to hit yourself for not getting help putting them together. I will share a picture of all the completed cubes in the final reveal.

I’m in the process now of sticking all the paper and other items I need homes for in all the cubes and drawers now.

Thanks for dropping by for day 3! Still around the craft room hasn’t eaten me yet but you never know.

I also have some of the Michaels storage. I will tell you (sorry, it’s a bit after the fact right now, but moving forward) that you do need to use wood glue on these products. I have a cabinet with drawers and they started coming apart. My hubs and I took the cabinet apart and put back together with glue,along with the hardware. Go forward with assembling the rest, using wood glue and come back to the previous once you are done and aren’t stressed about the redo of your room. Trust me in this! Good luck with the rest!

Looks like the shelves will work well for you as you organize. It takes a big man to show the disorganization of his craft room. Most people would be afraid. So I admire you for sharing. Everyone may expect that each and every one of our craft rooms are perfectly organized at all times. My husband says that a messy desk means that you are working. In fact, some of his doctorate professors friends have messy desks but they also are the best teachers. So, Rick, don’t be discouraged. Your craft room shows that you love your craft. Happy planning and organizing!!

My entire craft room is done with Ikea Billy storage shelves. They have changed the company to another name and the shelves are now more a cream color than stark white. I love it and it keeps me so organized
